FS: Icom R71
 

Will be posting an Icom R71 receiver on ebay next week and putting it here
first for anyone interested. Mint condition, voice unit, remote control,
etc. Fantastic radio. Only selling because I want a new toy, and just got an
R75 a year ago and hardly turn this on anymore. I would like to get $400 for
it, but all serious offers considered. Feel free to check my 100% ebay
feedback, where I have sold quite a few radios and accessories - username
'ckgoegging' - and post here with valid email for further specifications,
etc.


Thanks!

So you prefer the 75 to the 71A?

How do you get by with just one receiver? I only have three now, down
from 7 at one time, and I have all three going, 2 sitting and one tuning
around, hunting.

What is it about the 75's that is so special?

Aren't the Yaseu -- (spelling) receivers suppose to be pretty good?
Are they still being manufactured? I sort of know a Ham Radio Operator
guy via emailing back and forth for about five years via the internet.He
is about 85 years old and was in the U.S.Navy in World War Two.He uses a
Yaseu Transceiver Radio,he probally knows as much or more about Ham
Radio than anybody else,he has been a Ham Radio Operator for many,many
years.He lives in Mesquite,Texas,East side of Dallas.

I have three - the R71, R75, Grundig Sat 800, and Yaseu FRG100B. Out of the
four I own, I opted to sell the R71 in order to buy a new scanner (396T),
only because it is the one I use less than any other.

Sadly, I will probably be selling one of mine, the R71A probably to buy
a digital scanner as more and more local PS agencies are going that
way..

I'll keep my JRC NRD-515 forever, the 525 until I really get desperate
for cash for something.

I think I read something at www.gizmodo.com yesterday about a new
kind of scanner.I need to head on over to the Goodwill store now and
then head on over to the wal mart store to see if they have my
pictures/photos ready of the pictures I took with my Kodak Advantix F600
camera at the (two film cartridges) Jackson,Celticfest Mississippi
thingy www.celticfestms.org last Saturday afternoon.Of course,I
just had to snap a picture of that cutie pie woman in that plaid short
short skirt as she was walking up the sidewalk.

Well, we can't fault the man for his taste.

Nice to hear someone sing the praises once again
of the 515 -- it's almost always a keeper in a
collection.

On the 71A, I struggled for some time but ended up
selling one I had -- it just didn't have either the
audio or the ease of use that others had. Kept the
FRG100 because I just love to use it (and its looks).
And I have found the Kenwood R-5000 to be a superb
receiver.
